I second this. Anyone knows how to do masking?

I need this too and I'm working on releaseing a UX that will have this feature... simple to the Swing widget of the same name... hopefully in the next day or two

Not sure if this is what everyone wanted - turned out to be really simple.

public class FormattedNumberField extends NumberField {

	@Override
	protected void onBlur(ComponentEvent be) {
		super.onBlur(be);
		setRawValue(getFormat().format(getValue().doubleValue()));
	}
}

You would use it like...

	    FormattedNumberField annualsalary = new FormattedNumberField();
	    annualsalary.setFieldLabel("Annual Salary");
	    annualsalary.setFormat(NumberFormat.getCurrencyFormat());
	    panel.add(annualsalary);

Cheers. Did it the same way.
But I was also actually thinking of something which limits the input and skips fixed characters of the format. E.g. a format like "(XXX)-XXXX XXXX" where the cursor automatically skips chars like ()- and jumps to the next available input position. Nothing really important, would be just a nice UI gimmick though.
